One of the old laws in the bush says that “nothing ever works right the firsts time.” We’ve found this to be true on numerous occasions! Even as we started our journey back to Zambia, the words of this maxim rang out again. Our original departure date was set for the 28th of February, but when our family got sick with covid a third time, we had to reschedule a couple of weeks later in March. It felt pretty inconvenient at the time, but it worked out much better, and we were able to secure several needed items for our trip. That said, we’re in Zambia! The last couple of weeks have found us in transition, working on everything from home repairs to the well that gives us our much-needed water. And we really appreciate that water as we arrived just on the tail end of the hot season. With the rain tapering off in April, we won’t see it again until December. No rain and cooler temperatures are just a couple of reasons why the dry season is our peak time for ministry.
